<Anyone (finger points at Allison) have any stories about them? It looked
<fairly serious.
Bill gave the particulars on it, band printer like the want stuff RCSRI
has 300LPM and could slew paper fast enough to empty a box fast.
The hood gas shocks would dry out and somtimes people would get a finger
bit or their head konked good.
Bill likely remembers Pat Pattenden or Paul Howard as those guys were
the old timers with those.

Nah... I was just a local DEC field service guy in NJ. I did teach the
B-600 when I left DEC and went to Concurrent (Perkin-Elmer/Interdata/Masscomp)
to work as an instructor and then Sys. Admin.
I didn't like the Printronix stuff as much as the LP25 and 26 since they were
quite reliable (only failures were usually ribbon motor/roller problems).
The boards almost never blew. And they didn't require drum belt replacement
or shuttle adjustments like the LP05's.
